Hello. Hi! How was everyone's weekend?! I hope you had a great time relaxing from a long work week. I sure did. I spent my weekend studying and hanging out with family. I even made time to hike Valido Trail in Laguna Beach on Sunday. Finding balance for everything is typically my daily struggle. Weekends definitely aren't long enough to unwind, but I'll take what I can get. Anyhow, are you ready for today's post?! I'm continuing my office style outfit posts AND I'll be announcing the winner of the Ro & De giveaway below! Happy reading! ;)

Fashion Tip: When dressing for the office, I try to keep things as simple as possible. This would include a fitted pair of pants and comfortable pumps.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Ro & Degiveaway! The winner is announced on my Instagram: @joanndoan. Congratulations on winning 5 pieces from the Ro & De collection. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! They're pretty, stylish and easy to wear. I love the material of all my tops and can't wait to see how you style your tops.

The office style posts continue! And don't forget -- I'm teaming up with Ro & De to give away 5 pieces from their collection!! Don't miss out on adding some amazing pieces to your wardrobe! More info on how to enter below.

Fashion Tip: I'm still trying to get a handle on the whole work wear thing so bear with me. I didn't pair this top with any blazers or outerwear because the top itself was already work appropriate. Plus, it's such a cute knotted top and the material was already so thick that it wouldn't make sense to add anything over it. I'm leaning towards fitted skinny pants paired with any kind of pumps. It's much easier to plan my outfits around fitted skinnies.

So. As I mentioned in my last post, I've teamed up with Ro & De to give you a 5 piece giveaway from their collection. All you have to do is follow me on Instagram: @joanndoan, follow @roandde on Instagram and tag 3 friends! Easy peasy lemon squeezy right? I will be announcing the winner on Monday, March 31st so get to tagging!

Good luck everyone! I love their tops so I hope whoever wins likes pretty and easy to wear tops!! :)

I've been living in my work clothes lately so I decided to create a office style blog series over the next couple of weeks to give you some corporate outfit inspirations!

P.S. If there is any time you should pay attention, it's this week! I'm teaming up with Ro and De for an amazing GIVEAWAYYY! Better read on how to enter because I'm announcing a winner next Monday, March 30th. Keep scrolling to see the prizessss! (yes, plural. like more than just one thing)

Fashion Tip:Blazers can make any outfit look more polished and work appropriate. Invest in a few blazers that you can mix into your wardrobe.

I've been mixing a lot of tops from Ro and De into my work outfits because I love the feel of the tops. They're not as thin as my casual outfits and the tanks are perfect to wear under my blazers. It's been a little harder for me to mix and match corporate style into my day to day because I usually like to run around in jeans, a tee and some flats. Office style is a little more structure and a little less cas. Either way, I'm up for the challenge. I can switch the jeans for slacks, flats for pumps and sweaters for blazers!

TGIF everyone and Happy 1st day of Spring! Spring and Summer are my favorite fashion seasons. I love wearing cute dresses and light colors and there's just so many more options when the sun is out! Keep reading for outfit deets!

Fashion Tip: Off the shoulder dresses are really good options for easy, ready-to-wear outfits that you can just throw on.

I can't believe it's already the first day of Spring! I seriously am still trying to catch up on my 2015. Springtime is so pretty in Orange County. The flowers are blooming and there's just so much color everywhere. I've been studying nonstop for my securities license exams so it's been tough to keep up with the blogs, but I'll do my best. This dress was a major deal from my favorite hole-in-the-wall boutique - Fashion Young. They have a lot of trendy pieces for about $10-$15 less than online or at the mall so if you're in the area, you should definitely check it out!

Oh! And since I started working in the corporate world again, I'll be posting a series of 9 to 5work chic outfits. Stay tuned for more on that next week! :)

I love this dress because it's so different from any other dress I've posted before. I like to switch things up a bit sometimes and try new outfits I wouldn't normally wear. Who doesn't like luscious lips on their body!? ;)

The cut of the dress is quite classic and it's the perfect dinner dress or girls night out kind of dress. I kind of also love even more because I saw so many celebs wearing it lol!

Everything I need for that effortless, yet polished outfit. This look can easily transition from day to night. Instead of the heels, I can opt for flats for a more laid back look. To dress it up a little more, I can add a blazer or leather jacket. Easy peasy lemon squeezy yes? ;) Now keep scrolling to see the rest of my outfit. I didn't take 230982 photos for you to just look at one picture lol. C'mon nowwwww!!

Fashion Tip: Stick with what you know. Even though I love to play around with different styles and trends, I always go back to what I know works for me. I mean, isn't that why everyone has a certain style about them? Something that they're known for?

Nicole Richie is the bohemian goddess, Olivia Palermo is a master of mixing prints and no one does small boobie fashion better than Kate Hudson. Fashion is much easier when you figure out what pieces fit your style best and what works for your body type.

♥

I like to keep it casual. And when I want to dress it up, I like to add accessories and really cute heels. What's your style like? And who's your style icon? I mean I literally just named my top 3 inspirations in the fashion tip section so I'd love to hear some of yours! Keep it light, keep it fun and keep it movinnnnn.

Wishing you all a fantastic and fabulous MONDAY! Thanks for reading, scrolling or stalking. Either which way, thanks a ton! ;)
